My favorite use for a ratchet crimper is to crimp the PL -259 ends of coax
for radios. It requires the right type of fitting and the correct die for
the crimper but the end result is fantastic without soldering. I found them
at a high tech radio shop (West Lake Electronics in Seattle). It is not an
inexpensive way to go and does not make sense for one or two installations.
Willing to share the tool locally...
